Unexplainable

How do we know when we are straying from God, or growing stronger in our faith in Him?

How do we know if that person in our life is going to help us grow, or cause us to lose faith?

How do we know if that new idea, is completely crazy, or if God placed it on our mind for a reason?

Life is crazy,
People come and go, out of our lives,
Plans change,
The good days, can quickly change to the worst ones of our life.
But once again, why?

Why would the person that just entered our life, leave?
Why would the relationship that was just created, fall short?
Why would the plan that was just coming together, shatter?
Why would God help us, and then fail us?

Tonight, I feel as close to God, as I feel possible.
But if you asked me last night, I don't think I would have said the same.

Sometimes, everything can change before we have time to blink our eyes.
I mean, wouldn't it be amazing if everything just stayed the way that it did, that one good day, that you didn't want to end?

I mean who doesn't love that feeling of utter happiness?
But who loves the feeling when it fades?

That happiness comes and goes with faith, too.
A relationship with God, even the best, does not mean that our feeling of utter happiness, is going to stay forever.
Don't we all wish that it could be that way?
I mean all we would have to do is love God, and all of the pain in the world would go away..
But how would we understand joy, without experiencing pain?

Would you give up your toughest moments, if you knew that you wouldn't be the person that you are today?
Maybe.
But I am sure that if you do not feel this way now,
you will some day.

The same goes for our relationship with God.
He knows that we are hurting.
He knows that we are about to drown.
And I do not doubt, He is just waiting to reach down and pull us back up.
I do not doubt that He is feeling all of our pain.

But how would we know what good is, if that is all that we have ever had?




I know that I talk about Uganda a lot. Shoot, I am sure that those close to me, wish that I would just stop bringing up Uganda every other minute.
I mean seriously.
I could look at an ice cream cone and relate it to some experience that I had in Uganda.

But really,
I could go on for hours, days, even weeks about what I learned while I was there.
But the reality is, you won't understand.


The truth is,
It has never been about the experience.
It has always been about the feeling, during the experience.

Now that feeling,
That was God. 



A relationship with God, is kinda like my endless stories about Uganda.

I am almost positive that if you ask me about Uganda, you will be wishing that you didn't.
You will be wondering, when was the last time that she took a breath?
How does one talk for that long?

I do not doubt that if you ask someone why they love God, they will have a reason.
But there will always be a, "but.." in response.

So do not waste your time trying to go on and on, sharing that "God loves you, because..."
Instead, allow others to feel it for themselves.
We want others to see God,
So let them.
Show them.
Be God's hands and feet.

We are not the cause to that feeling,
God is.

Now, our job is done,
We have shared our God,
Now let Him take care of the rest.

You are not imagining that amazing feeling.
God is rooting for you.

Someone was once our cause,
And we have seen the effect.

The journey may not have been easy,
And it most likely is incomplete.
But that taste of God's love is irreplaceable.
He is going to fight for us,
Until the concrete is set,
Rock solid,
and Unbreakable.
